OK, so a lot of the things that these guys do look fun. I have no interest in off-road ATVing or driving, but some of the water-based activities are cool. But one thing just took me completely aback.

Sphereing? How weird is that? Who came up with that idea? I have no idea whether it would be really, really cool, or really, really alarming!

It's like one of those hamster balls! And are those people naked? Silly place.

I wonder whether we should blame the Kiwis or Aussies for that. Melissa and I saw that on a GlobeTrekker episode about New Zealand (I think it was). Besides making the rider dizzy and possibly nauseous, it can also leave him/her pretty black and blue, as I recall from the show.

I'm all for cool outdoor activities ("ask me about trotties"), but that one seems kind of stupid to me.
